Diane if you cupcake shrinks from sides you might be using more
liquid and more sugar making it shrinks easily.
Have you tried baking it on layer tins and noted the same defect as
excessive cake shrinkage during cooling?
Then there are other factors that can contribute to that…..
You may have overmixed the cake batter resulting in cake shrinkage.
Many cupcakes had high sugar level as compared to muffins and
overcreaming( sugar- fat) or overblending ( in the flour-fat method)
can also led to that defect . It can be also accompanied that the
bottom even shrinks as well creating a space between the cake and the
cake liner.
Another cause is the cake flour is lower in protein ,therefore if that
is the cake you should reduce a little bit the water added and
increase correspondingly the egg for better stability.
I can also blend a little bit if all purpose to the cake flour( about
a heaping tablespoon or two per two cups of flour.
